Susanne WestTeacher

Susanne West began exploring Trillium Awakening (formerly Waking Down) in the late 90's and has been teaching in this work since 2011. Her spiritual roots go back to Swami Muktananda and the Siddha Yoga tradition, and to Buddhism; in particular Vajrayana (Tibetan) Buddhism and Zen. Here, in Trillium Awakening, she discovered the beauty of embodiment and integration, and loves to help others in their awakening and integration process. Susanne is a Professor of Psychology at John F. Kennedy University and author of the book Soul Care for Caregivers: How to Help Yourself While Helping Others.
